In this April 14, 2016 photo, Syrian refugees look through the gate of a grocery store at the al-Azraq refugee camp in northeast Jordan. Thousands of newly arrived Syrian refugees have been moved behind barbed wire in a separate section of the Azraq camp because Jordan considers them potential security risks. Aid groups agreed to isolate the newcomers to allay Jordanian security concerns and help speed up admissions of 64,000 refugees stranded in remote desert areas on the kingdom’s border. But the new arrangement is barely making a dent, and crowds on the border are expected to grow to 100,000 by the end of the year. (AP Photo/Sam McNeil)
